MOQ, Lead Time and Shipping for Wholesale Orders
Use these decision rules to prepare a sourcing request. Numeric commercial terms appear only after the specification, quantity and order conditions are reviewed.
Request Current Commercial Terms
How MOQ is determined
Minimum quantity depends on the purchasing unit, specification difficulty, matching or calibration work, production setup, materials and current supply conditions. MOQ is therefore confirmed for the actual request rather than presented as one number for every order.
Loose stones
Shape, grading, report requirement, quantity and current availability determine whether the request can be accepted.
Matched pairs
Matching difficulty, dimensions, weight basis and visual tolerance affect the practical order unit.
Melee
Size or sieve range, quality range, calibration tolerance and parcel quantity affect the order condition.
Custom jewelry
Design setup, materials, stones, sampling, packaging and production method affect the minimum.
Small and trial orders
Buyers may submit a small or trial-order requirement. Acceptance depends on the specification, requested quantity, available supply and any production setup. A trial order should still include the intended repeat program so tolerances can be recorded usefully.
Quotation validity
The written quotation states its validity period. Availability and market conditions can change after that period, so an expired quotation requires reconfirmation.
What starts the lead time
Lead time starts only when the relevant specification, quotation, payment condition, buyer approval and required production records are confirmed. An initial inquiry or verbal discussion does not start the clock.
Shipping and shipment responsibility
The quotation or order record should identify packing, carrier or freight method, shipment point, destination and responsibility transfer. Shipment options depend on the product, destination and current carrier rules.
Duty, VAT and importer responsibility
Duty, VAT, import permission, declarations and resale compliance depend on product classification, origin, destination and importer circumstances. Buyers should confirm local obligations with their own qualified adviser.
Payment and order confirmation
Supported payment method, deposit or balance timing, bank details and order confirmation requirements are provided only through the written commercial record. Verify payment instructions through an approved contact before transfer.
